Signs you need bath repair in Hillhead
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hillhead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Hillhead: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
