About our bath repair in Craigiebank
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Craigiebank: your questions answered
Do you cover Craigiebank?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Craigiebank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Landlord and trade work in Craigiebank
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we’re called out for in Craigiebank
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
