About our bath repair in Broxburn
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and a chipped rim or side.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Broxburn as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Broxburn
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?
The entire UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broxburn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What else we do in Broxburn
Do you need bath repair in Broxburn?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
