About our bath repair in St. Ninians

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in St. Ninians and across Stirling.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

What affects the price in St. Ninians

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St. Ninians. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath repair in St. Ninians

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the repair show?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long before I can use the bath?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
