Damaged bath in Inveresk? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your bath is made of matters
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 is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Bath repair in Inveresk without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Inveresk questions
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Inveresk?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Inveresk.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Inveresk
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Inveresk
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
