Bath repair in Newlandsmuir without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before you book
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common problems we fix in Newlandsmuir
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Newlandsmuir
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
