Bath repair for St Fillans homes

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

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 price, not a guess.

Advice

Bath repair at your home in St Fillans

You don’t 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 so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in St Fillans?

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for St Fillans

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How much does bath repair cost in St Fillans?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When to call us in St Fillans

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Fillans as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
