Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

If you are in Troon and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

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 early repair keeps the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you need bath repair in Troon?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips under the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Troon questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
