Bath repair at your home in EH32
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Landmarks near Prestonpans
Our customers here include homes close to Gothenburg Tavern, Preston Lodge High School and Prestongrange Parish Church and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Prestonpans itself: Prestonpans station. A little further out are Seton Castle (1.9 miles east) and Battle of Prestonpans Jacobite Museum (within half a mile north-west).
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Common problems we fix in EH32
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
EH32 questions
How do I get a price for bath repair in EH32?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
