Bath repair in Burghmuirhead, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Burghmuirhead
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burghmuirhead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
