How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Scotstounhill. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
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.
Scotstounhill questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Scotstounhill?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Signs you need bath repair in Scotstounhill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Scotstounhill
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
