DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath repair in Bruntsfield without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bruntsfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Your questions about bath repair in Bruntsfield
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What we are called out for in Bruntsfield
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Bruntsfield?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bruntsfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Bruntsfield customers choose us
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the entire UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
