Bath and surface repairs in IV20

Bath, tray, sink and worktop repairs across IV20, from Balintore, Portmahomack and Hill of Fearn. Fixed prices from photos and a one-year guarantee.

Bath repair at your home in IV20

We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a cracked acrylic bath.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Signs you need bath repair

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Repair or replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in IV20 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in IV20, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

IV20 questions

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for IV20?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
