About bath repair in TD13

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

What’s near Cockburnspath

Typical jobs here are in homes near Cockburnspath Parish Church and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Dunglass Castle (0.6 miles north-west). The countryside around Cockburnspath includes Pease Dean.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

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 entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

What we are called out for in TD13

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in TD13

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

TD13: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
