Should you replace it?
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 the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Cramond
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Cramond
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cramond as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cramond
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
