Need bath repair in Rosewell?

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Bath repair in Rosewell without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Rosewell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Rosewell

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Rosewell?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rosewell. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in Rosewell

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
