We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Davidson's Mains

What else we do in Davidson's Mains
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
