How we handle bath repair in Govanhill
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Govanhill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Repair or replace in Govanhill?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- 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, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Does someone need to be in?

What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Govanhill
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
