Bath repair for Strathmartine homes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Composite and resin

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

Bath repair in Strathmartine, done in place

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Strathmartine

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Choosing a repair company

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Strathmartine. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Strathmartine?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

FAQs for Strathmartine

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DD3 postcode.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
