Bath repair in Shotts without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Shotts
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

What affects the price in Shotts
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Shotts. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Shotts: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

All of North Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you cover Shotts?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shotts from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Signs you need bath repair in Shotts
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
