When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
