Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
About our bath repair in Gladsmuir
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gladsmuir. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Gladsmuir questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you need bath repair in Gladsmuir?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
