Bath repair across IV53: what to expect

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What’s near Strome Ferry

Typical jobs here are in homes near Church Of Scotland, among other places. There’s a railway station in Strome Ferry itself: Stromeferry station. Nearby you will also find Strome Castle (0.5 miles north). For a walk, there is Loch na Leitire.

How the damage happens

Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in IV53

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Do you work in IV53?

We do. Repair technicians travel to IV53 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
