About our bath repair in Colinsburgh
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colinsburgh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Colinsburgh get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Colinsburgh?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side

FAQs for Colinsburgh
How much does bath repair cost in Colinsburgh?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of Fife?
The whole UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Colinsburgh
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
