Problem with your bath in Greenlees? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
About our bath repair in Greenlees
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, across cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Greenlees: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need bath repair in Greenlees
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
