Bath repair across EH51: what to expect
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side.
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
What it costs in EH51
Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Local landmarks in Bo'ness
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Sammy Baird's Bar, Bo'ness and Bo'ness Academy. Bo'ness’s nearest station is Linlithgow station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Bo'ness Hospital (under half a mile west) and Kinneil House (1.1 miles west). For a walk, there is Linlithgow Loch and Cockleroy.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Common problems we fix in EH51
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in EH51, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
