Bath repair in Climpy without replacing anything

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Landlord and trade work in Climpy

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Climpy questions

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Climpy and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Climpy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in Climpy?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Holes from dropped items
