Bath repair at your home in Croftfoot
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
When to call us in Croftfoot
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Croftfoot
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Croftfoot?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What else we do in Croftfoot
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Croftfoot get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Croftfoot
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Croftfoot
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
