Bath repair in St Fergus

When to call us in St Fergus

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

About our bath repair in St Fergus

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

FAQs for St Fergus

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to St Fergus. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
