About our bath repair in Wallaceton

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Wallaceton

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally 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 get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Wallaceton customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about bath repair in Wallaceton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
