Landlord and trade work in Ferniegair
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Signs you need bath repair in Ferniegair
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ferniegair, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Ferniegair: your questions answered
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Repairing versus replacing in Ferniegair
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Ferniegair clients choose us
- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
