Bath repair at your home in Gorebridge
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Gorebridge
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How much does bath repair cost in Gorebridge?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Midlothian?
Across the UK, and that includes Gorebridge. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover Gorebridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gorebridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gorebridge. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gorebridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Signs you need bath repair in Gorebridge
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Other services in Gorebridge
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
