About our bath repair in North Lochs

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Lochs. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

North Lochs questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in North Lochs.

Do you work in North Lochs?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to North Lochs. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need bath repair in North Lochs

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
