What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

About our bath repair in Glen Village
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Falkirk.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t 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.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glen Village. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Glen Village
- Colour-matched on site
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Glen Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glen Village use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Glen Village
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
