About our bath repair in Glensburgh
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your FK3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When to call us in Glensburgh
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Glensburgh
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glensburgh as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Glensburgh
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
