About our bath repair in South Nitshill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
South Nitshill: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in South Nitshill
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
