Materials and what they mean for 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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Bath repair at your home in Abbeyhill
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Abbeyhill questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does bath repair cost in Abbeyhill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Abbeyhill. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Abbeyhill
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
Repairing versus replacing in Abbeyhill
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
