How we handle bath repair in Johnstone
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Johnstone
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When to call us in Johnstone
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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 us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
