  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

About our bath repair in Finnieston

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Finnieston

Are there extra charges for Finnieston?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Finnieston. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Finnieston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we’re called out for in Finnieston

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Should you replace it?

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
