Trusted bath repair in Townhead

Bath repair at your home in Townhead

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 and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow. 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 can start.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

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 morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

When to call us in Townhead

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron 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.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while we work

FAQs for Townhead

Do you protect the room?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can I use it again after the repair?

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

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Townhead?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you cover Townhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Townhead and the rest of Glasgow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
