About bath repair in G45

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and a chip where the taps sit, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Common problems we fix in G45

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What affects the price in G45

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, 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.

Repair or replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

G45 questions

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How much does bath repair cost in G45?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
