What we are called out for in Pollok
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
Bath repair in Pollok without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and snagging damage from a refit, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pollok

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
