What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Questions from Port Dundas
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Port Dundas?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Port Dundas and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Port Dundas
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
