Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One price list for the whole UK

How we handle bath repair in Burgh Muir
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 generally cheaper.
Burgh Muir: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Burgh Muir?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Burgh Muir
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burgh Muir as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
