Bath repair in Bara, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bara: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Bara?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bara for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Bara
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
