Bath repair at your home in Drumclog
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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 scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Drumclog
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Drumclog?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Drumclog and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Drumclog
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 is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Drumclog contact us are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
