How we handle bath repair in Bankglen
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and holes from dropped items, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Bankglen?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

FAQs for Bankglen
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. 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 will get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Bankglen?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bankglen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What affects the price in Bankglen
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
