Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Bath repair in Glenmavis, done in place

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. If you are dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Glenmavis

Do you cover the entire of North Lanarkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Glenmavis and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Glenmavis. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Glenmavis

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
