Bath repair in Provanhall, done in place
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. You can typically use the bath the day after. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Landlord and trade work in Provanhall
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Common questions in Provanhall
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Provanhall and the rest of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Common problems we fix in Provanhall
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
