How we handle bath repair in Cowlairs
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cowlairs as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need bath repair in Cowlairs?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Your questions about bath repair in Cowlairs
Do you come to Cowlairs?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cowlairs for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are there extra charges for Cowlairs?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
For landlords and businesses
