The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price

Lightburn questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Lightburn?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders

Landlord and trade work in Lightburn
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
