Our bath repair service in PA48

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Around Port Charlotte

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Kiaran’s Church. A little further out are Loch Gorm Castle (4.7 miles north) and Museum of Islay Life (within half a mile north). For a walk, there is Beinn Tart a' Mhill and Loch Gorm.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

How the damage happens

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Questions from PA48

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

The entire UK, including all of Argyll and Bute. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
