Bath repair in Gledhow without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Signs you need bath repair in Gledhow
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
