Bath repair at your home in Old Drumchapel
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Old Drumchapel
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Old Drumchapel?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Old Drumchapel for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Old Drumchapel?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Drumchapel. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Signs you need bath repair in Old Drumchapel
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
