Bath repair at your home in Kelvingrove
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kelvingrove as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Kelvingrove
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Kelvingrove?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Signs you need bath repair in Kelvingrove
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
