Your questions about bath repair in Netherburn
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across South Lanarkshire.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does bath repair cost in Netherburn?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Netherburn
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Covering Netherburn
Netherburn is about 3 miles south-east of Larkhall, in South Lanarkshire.

Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
When to call us in Netherburn
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
