Bath repair for Toryglen homes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking

Bath repair at your home in Toryglen

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need bath repair in Toryglen?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Look out for these signs:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps

Toryglen questions

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
