How bath repair works in PA20
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Local landmarks in Rothesay
Our customers here include homes close to Rothesay Academy, St Andrews R.C. Church Hall and Golfers Bar and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Rothesay Castle (within half a mile east) and Victoria Hospital (under half a mile south). The countryside around Rothesay includes Kames Hill and Greenan Loch.
How the damage happens
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. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath repair in PA20
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you come to PA20?
We do. We send a technician to PA20 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
