Bath repair in Polmadie, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.
Repair or replace in Polmadie?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A fixed quote before you book

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Polmadie questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Polmadie as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common problems we fix in Polmadie
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
