Bath repair in Rubha Ban

About our bath repair in Rubha Ban

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Rubha Ban: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Rubha Ban

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
