Questions from Comiston
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How we handle bath repair in Comiston
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Comiston
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
What affects the price in Comiston
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What your bath is made of matters
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 is the part we put right.
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.

Landlord and trade work in Comiston
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
