For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

About our bath repair in Turfhill

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Turfhill

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

How do I book?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What we’re called out for in Turfhill

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

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

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
