Trusted bath repair in Portsoy

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Portsoy. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Portsoy, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

About our bath repair in Portsoy

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Portsoy

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Portsoy

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Portsoy included. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portsoy

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
