Questions from Crossmyloof
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Crossmyloof?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Crossmyloof from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Bath repair in Crossmyloof without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Crossmyloof
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Crossmyloof
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
