Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

How we handle bath repair in Wanlockhead
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wanlockhead and across South Lanarkshire.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
FAQs for Wanlockhead
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Wanlockhead?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Wanlockhead. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
