About our bath repair in Ruchill
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we’re called out for in Ruchill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruchill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ruchill. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why Ruchill clients choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
