Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Glespin. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Glespin get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
For a price in Glespin, 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.

Glespin questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Glespin?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Glespin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ML11 postcode.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
