How we handle bath repair in West Barns
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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re frequently asked to fix damage beneath the taps and chips on the rim or sides, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in West Barns
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for West Barns
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including West Barns and the rest of East Lothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
