Bath repair in Toward without replacing anything

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What affects the price in Toward

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Toward

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Argyll and Bute.

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:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Toward use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

When to call us in Toward

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit
