How we handle bath repair in Philpstoun
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

FAQs for Philpstoun
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
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.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Philpstoun
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Philpstoun
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Lothian and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Philpstoun
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
