What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Bath repair in Polmont, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We are often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

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

Landlord and trade work in Polmont

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Falkirk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Polmont

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally within a day, depending on the repair.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Polmont. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
