About our bath repair in Barnton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Barnton and across Edinburgh.

Questions from Barnton
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Barnton included. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barnton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Barnton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Barnton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For a price in Barnton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barnton. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
