Bath repair in Dalkeith, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Dalkeith
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalkeith as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we are called out for in Dalkeith
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Dalkeith
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dalkeith.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
