When to call us in Newtongrange
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy

How we handle bath repair in Newtongrange
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. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Midlothian.

What else we do in Newtongrange
FAQs for Newtongrange
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
All of Midlothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
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, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, generally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newtongrange, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Newtongrange
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Newtongrange
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
