Bath repair in Walston without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Walston questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath repair cost in Walston?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ML11 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?
The entire UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What else we do in Walston
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Walston
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath repair in Walston
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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.

- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
