How we handle bath repair in Parkhead
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What else we do in Parkhead
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Parkhead
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Common problems we fix in Parkhead
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Parkhead. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
