Bath repair at your home in TD9

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in TD9

Near you in Hawick

In Hawick, that means homes near Hawick, Hawick High School and The Bourtree pub and the streets around them.

Honest limits

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

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

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

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What we’re called out for in TD9

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

FAQs for TD9

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you come to TD9?

We do. Repair technicians travel to TD9 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How do I get a price for bath repair in TD9?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
