How we handle bath repair in Braehead
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Braehead
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Braehead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Braehead
Landlord and trade work in Braehead
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price bath repair

Braehead questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
