How we handle bath repair in Penilee
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Penilee
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. 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 booking.
Why Penilee customers choose us
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Questions from Penilee
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Penilee and the rest of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, 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.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Penilee
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
