How we handle bath repair in Allanton
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, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Allanton
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Allanton. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Allanton
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will I be able to see the 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.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
