Bath repair near Wick

Landlord and trade work in Wick

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

About our bath repair in Wick

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We’re often asked to fix a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Wick

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Wick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Your questions about bath repair in Wick

How much does bath repair cost in Wick?

Do you repair coloured baths?

What happens after I send pictures?

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
