How we handle bath repair in Rutherglen
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Rutherglen
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Rutherglen?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G73 postcode.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rutherglen as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we’re called out for in Rutherglen
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
How it works
From the moment we arrive, 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 the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
