Bath repair at your home in Midlothian

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust spots around the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Midlothian. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Local landmarks in Bonnyrigg

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Bonnyrigg Parish Church, Lasswade High School Centre and Public Library, among other places. Bonnyrigg’s nearest station is Eskbank station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Dalhousie Castle (1.2 miles south-east) and Midlothian Community Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Bonnyrigg includes The New Leaf Co-op and Edgelaw Reservoir.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in Midlothian and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Common problems we fix in Midlothian

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Questions from Midlothian

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Midlothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
