Bath Repair in Sandyford

Bath repair in Sandyford without replacing anything

You can usually use the bath the next day. 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. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow. 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

When we visit, 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 few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, 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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Sandyford questions

When can I use it again after the repair?

Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.

Will you leave a mess?

We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and tidy up when we finish.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Sandyford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G3 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.

What guarantee do I get?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Signs you need bath repair in Sandyford

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
