About bath repair in PA15
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What it costs in PA15
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landmarks near Cartsdyke
We visit homes around Watt Library, Wellington Academy and St Laurence’s Church (Greenock) and the streets around them. Cartsdyke has its own railway station: Whinhill station. A little further out are Greenock Royal Infirmary (1 mile west) and Oak Mall (0.9 miles north-west). For a walk, there is Lyle Hill.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Landlords, agents and businesses in PA15
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in PA15 use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from PA15
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
