  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

How to compare quotes

Your questions about bath repair in Auldhouse

Are there extra charges for Auldhouse?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?

All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What affects the price in Auldhouse

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Auldhouse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Auldhouse get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Auldhouse

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
