Bath repair in Shieldaig without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  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, typically the day after.

How to prepare

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repair or replace in Shieldaig?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

  • Chips under the taps
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides

10 questions to ask before you book

Shieldaig: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

How much does bath repair cost in Shieldaig?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Composite and resin

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