Bath chip & crack repair in Haddington, East Lothian
Problem with your bath in Haddington? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath repair in Haddington
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we’re called out for in Haddington
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Haddington. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Haddington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Haddington questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
