About our bath repair in Banton
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.

Advice
FAQs for Banton
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
