Bath repair across PA7: what to expect
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Around Bishopton
Around Bishopton, we work in homes near Park Mains High School and Church Centre. There’s a railway station in Bishopton itself: Bishopton station.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What affects the price in PA7
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Signs you need bath repair
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
