Common questions in Burdiehouse
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Burdiehouse?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Burdiehouse and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Burdiehouse get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Other services in Burdiehouse
Landlord and trade work in Burdiehouse
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
