How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Kelvinside
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G12 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Do you need bath repair in Kelvinside?
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Kelvinside
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
