Bath repair at your home in Livingston
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are rust spots where the enamel has gone and scratches and burns.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

When to call us in Livingston
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
Questions to ask before you book

- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Livingston questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and tidy up when we finish.
Do you cover Livingston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Livingston. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Livingston?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH54 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
