Common problems we fix in Scot Hay

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

About our bath repair in Scot Hay

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Scot Hay

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Scot Hay questions

Do you work in Scot Hay?

We do. Technicians travel to Scot Hay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Scot Hay, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Scot Hay. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
