About our bath repair in North Berwick

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Most clients in North Berwick get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in North Berwick

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
