DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Burnbrae
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Signs you need bath repair in Burnbrae
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ML7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Burnbrae
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
