Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Bath repair in Strathblane, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

Advice
Also in Strathblane
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we’re called out for in Strathblane
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
