Bath repair at your home in ML5
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
What it costs in ML5
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Around Coatbridge
We visit homes around St Mary's Rc Church, The Vulcan pub and St. Ambrose High School, among other places. Coatbridge has its own railway station: Whifflet station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Coathill Hospital (within half a mile south) and Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life (0.9 miles north). For a walk, there is Strathclyde Loch.
How the damage happens
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Common reasons people in ML5 contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Landlord and trade work in ML5
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
