Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

Bath repair in Priesthill 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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

Repair or replace in Priesthill?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Priesthill customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What affects the price in Priesthill

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Priesthill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Signs you need bath repair in Priesthill

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
