Bath repair in Cleghorn, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Cleghorn
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, 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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across South Lanarkshire.
Common problems we fix in Cleghorn
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cleghorn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Cleghorn get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
