Bath repair at your home in DD11

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including DD11. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we’re called out for in DD11

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

Common reasons people in DD11 contact us include:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

Common questions in DD11

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Angus?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
