Bath Repair in Warriston

Do you need bath repair in Warriston?

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Scratches and burns
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

How to compare quotes

How we handle bath repair in Warriston

Most baths can be used again the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches and burns.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Warriston questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you protect the room?

We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and clean up before we leave.

What about rust by the waste?

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

When can I use it again after the repair?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

How much does bath repair cost in Warriston?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
