Bath repair in Scotstoun without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and a hole punched through by something heavy, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Scotstoun
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work

Common questions in Scotstoun
Do you cover Scotstoun?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Scotstoun. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scotstoun use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What affects the price in Scotstoun
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
