Bath chip & crack repair in Newton, West Lothian
Local bath repair for Newton: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair in Newton, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newton and across West Lothian.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Newton
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Newton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EH52 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newton. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When to call us in Newton
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
