About our bath repair in Tradeston
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Tradeston
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

FAQs for Tradeston
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G2 postcode.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Common problems we fix in Tradeston
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
