Bath Repair for Bielside homes
Problem with your bath in Bielside? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Bath repair at your home in Bielside
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bielside: your questions answered
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are there extra charges for Bielside?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repairing versus replacing in Bielside

Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Bielside
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bielside. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bielside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bielside
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Bielside
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
