Bath repair in Gullane

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our bath repair in Gullane

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We’re often asked to fix damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Gullane?

Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips caused by builders

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Repairing versus replacing in Gullane

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

Gullane questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do you come to Gullane?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gullane and the rest of East Lothian. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
