Bath repair across HS7: what to expect

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Signs you need bath repair

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Landlord and trade work in HS7

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in HS7 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Questions from HS7

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Are there extra charges for HS7?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
