Bath repair in Strathbungo without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath repair in Strathbungo

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

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

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Strathbungo questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

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 entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Strathbungo. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Strathbungo get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strathbungo

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Strathbungo, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
