Bath repair at your home in PA34
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What’s near Oban
Typical jobs here are in homes near Oban High School, Caledonian Hotel and Old Parish Church and the streets around them. Oban has its own railway station: Oban station. Nearby you will also find Oban Museum (0.6 miles north) and Dunollie Castle (1.2 miles north-west). The countryside around Oban includes Lochan Dubh.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in PA34
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions from PA34
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
