How we handle bath repair in Pollokshields
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

FAQs for Pollokshields
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pollokshields. Prices do not change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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 is the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
