About our bath repair in Pettinain
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Pettinain
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Pettinain?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Signs you need bath repair in Pettinain
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
