How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Bath repair at your home in Lambhill

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Your questions about bath repair in Lambhill

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lambhill

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Lambhill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Signs you need bath repair in Lambhill

Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
