About bath repair in PA8

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Local landmarks in Erskine

Our clients here include homes close to Park Mains High School and Erskine, among other places. The closest station to Erskine is Dalmuir station, about 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

What we are called out for in PA8

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side
  • A chip where the taps sit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in PA8

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
