How we handle bath repair in Yorkhill
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Yorkhill questions
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll confirm the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up when we finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Yorkhill?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your G12 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Yorkhill and across Glasgow.
Do you cover Yorkhill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Yorkhill and the rest of Glasgow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need bath repair in Yorkhill?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, 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:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
