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, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts 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.

- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

About our bath repair in Bardowie
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bardowie as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Your questions about bath repair in Bardowie
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Dunbartonshire.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bardowie. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bardowie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
