Repairing versus replacing in Hamilton
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle bath repair in Hamilton
Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Common questions in Hamilton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, 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 photo.
How much does bath repair cost in Hamilton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Hamilton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hamilton and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Signs you need bath repair in Hamilton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
