How we handle bath repair in Kinning Park
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and a cracked acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Kinning Park clients choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How it 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 in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Kinning Park?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Kinning Park
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Kinning Park

Kinning Park: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
