Bath repair in Strathy

Bath repair in Strathy, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and scuffs and scratches in the surface.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Strathy

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

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Strathy. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KW14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in Strathy

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early

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

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.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Composite and resin

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

What we are called out for in Strathy

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
