About our bath repair in Thornwood
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Thornwood: your questions answered
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thornwood.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
Everywhere in the UK, Thornwood included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When to call us in Thornwood
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
