Surface repairs across AB35

Bath repair at your home in AB35

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  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 next day.

What’s near Ballater

In Ballater, that means homes near Glenmuick Parish Church, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Abergairn Castle (1.2 miles north-west). The countryside around Ballater includes Loch Kinord and Culblean Hill.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

What we are called out for in AB35

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
