How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Glenburn

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Glenburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Glenburn
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Glenburn?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Do you need bath repair in Glenburn?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
