Bath chip & crack repair in Musselburgh, East Lothian

When to call us in Musselburgh
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book

- What prep work is covered

Bath repair at your home in Musselburgh
You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, 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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Musselburgh questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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 take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you come to Musselburgh?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Musselburgh and the rest of East Lothian. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Repairing versus replacing in Musselburgh
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
