About our bath repair in Lennoxtown

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the following day. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Lennoxtown, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lennoxtown. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Common questions in Lennoxtown

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the repair show?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Common problems we fix in Lennoxtown

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
