How we handle bath repair in Haddington

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are frequently asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust by the waste and overflow, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we are called out for in Haddington

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Common reasons people in Haddington contact us are:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath repair in Haddington

How do I get a price for bath repair in Haddington?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When can I have a bath again?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Haddington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Haddington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about rust by the waste?

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

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
