How we handle bath repair in Tollcross
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G32 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Tollcross
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, 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 picture.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Glasgow.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
