Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Mid Calder
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Mid Calder
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Mid Calder. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are

Mid Calder questions
How do I get a price for bath repair in Mid Calder?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
