Bath repair near Roadside of Kinneff

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Bath repair in Roadside of Kinneff, done in place

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down 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. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

What we are called out for in Roadside of Kinneff

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Roadside of Kinneff questions

Will the repair show?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Roadside of Kinneff?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD10 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
