Bath chip & crack repair in Broomhill, Glasgow
Fixed-price bath repair in Broomhill and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we handle bath repair in Broomhill
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Broomhill customers choose us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Broomhill

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Your questions about bath repair in Broomhill
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Broomhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Broomhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
