Our bath repair service in DD7

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Around Carnoustie

Typical jobs here are in homes near Carnoustie Parish Church and Carnoustie High School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Carnoustie itself: Golf Street station. A little further out are Panmure Castle (2.1 miles north-west) and Ashludie Hospital (4.1 miles west).

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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

What we are called out for in DD7

Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage beneath the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DD7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
