Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crossbank as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need bath repair in Crossbank?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Repair or replace in Crossbank?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Crossbank
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What affects the price in Crossbank
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
