When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in West Mains

Common reasons people in West Mains contact us are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Mains
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in West Mains
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
