Bath repair at your home in Old Pentland
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Pentland as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Old Pentland
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit

Questions from Old Pentland
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you cover Old Pentland?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Pentland and the rest of Midlothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Midlothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Landlord and trade work in Old Pentland
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Pentland as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK
Read our prices page and bath cost comparison.
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 typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
