You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Your questions about bath repair in Crutherland

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Do you work in Crutherland?

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

Is a bath repair durable?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Crutherland get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What we are called out for in Crutherland

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: 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.

Common reasons people in Crutherland contact us include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crutherland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
