Bath Repair in Motherwell

Repair or replace in Motherwell?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How we handle bath repair in Motherwell

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches and burns.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Motherwell

Signs you need bath repair in Motherwell

Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

FAQs for Motherwell

What guarantee do I get?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you protect the room?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Motherwell?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How it 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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
