What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
About our bath repair in Govan
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace in Govan?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
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 we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

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 generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Govan
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Govan. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need bath repair in Govan?

- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Govan: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Glasgow.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
