Bath repair in Cardonald without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cardonald
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Cardonald
Do you cover Cardonald?
We do. We send a technician to Cardonald for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Cardonald
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Typically one visit, start to finish
