Bath chip & crack repair in Ruchazie, Glasgow
Our repair technicians come to Ruchazie for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Can I fix it myself?
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath repair in Ruchazie
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When to call us in Ruchazie
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
