Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath repair in North Kelvinside
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath repair in North Kelvinside
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
For a price in North Kelvinside, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need bath repair in North Kelvinside?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
