How we handle bath repair in Caiystane
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Caiystane and across Edinburgh.

When to call us in Caiystane
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Questions from Caiystane
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Caiystane?
We do. We send a technician to Caiystane for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace in Caiystane?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
