What we’re called out for in Corkerhill

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day

  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath repair in Corkerhill

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Corkerhill: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you cover Corkerhill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Corkerhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, 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 there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Corkerhill

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
