Bath repair in Glengolly without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For a price in Glengolly, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Glengolly
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Glengolly?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Glengolly for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Glengolly
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
