Questions from Upper Kilchattan
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Upper Kilchattan
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Kilchattan
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Kilchattan use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
