Bath repair for Springholm homes

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Springholm get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle bath repair in Springholm

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right.

Common questions in Springholm

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you cover Springholm?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Springholm and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When to call us in Springholm

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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