Trusted bath repair in Spittalfield

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Spittalfield. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Spittalfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Spittalfield: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Perth and Kinross.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Spittalfield

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

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