Bath repair at your home in G84

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips on the rim or sides.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Pricing in G84

Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Around Helensburgh

Around Helensburgh, we work in homes near Lomond School, The Henry Bell pub and St Joseph's R.C. Church and the streets around them. There is a railway station in Helensburgh itself: Helensburgh Central station. Nearby you will also find Ardencaple Castle (1.3 miles west) and Victoria Infirmary (0.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Lyle Hill.

Common problems we fix in G84

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Damage beneath the taps

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around G84, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to G84. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

G84: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover G84?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to G84 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
