Bath repair in Whitecraigs without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Whitecraigs
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Whitecraigs?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitecraigs for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Whitecraigs
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whitecraigs, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitecraigs as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
