What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Bath repair in Kelvinhaugh without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We are often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

What affects the price in Kelvinhaugh
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Kelvinhaugh
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
