Bath repair in Gilshochill, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Gilshochill
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For a price in Gilshochill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath repair in Gilshochill
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
Gilshochill: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you cover Gilshochill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gilshochill and the rest of Glasgow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
