Bath repair in Hillhead without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

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

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. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

When to call us in Hillhead
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 will start to rust once water gets in. 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
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
What to look for in a quote
