Bath chip & crack repair in Blackness, West Lothian
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Blackness, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Blackness, done in place
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 snagging damage from a refit and chips under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Blackness and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Blackness
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Blackness, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
