Bath repair at your home in East Lothian

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.

First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Prices in East Lothian

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The material
What kind of damage it is
Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Lothian. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Something in shot to show the size
A clear, close picture of the problem area
One picture of the entire bath
The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

A chip where the taps sit
A cracked acrylic bath
A kit repair that didn’t last
Rust spots around the plughole

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

East Lothian: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to East Lothian?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to East Lothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
