Bath repair at your home in Tillietudlem
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Tillietudlem: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tillietudlem.
Do you come to Tillietudlem?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tillietudlem and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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 the part we put right.

Do you need bath repair in Tillietudlem?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
