About our bath repair in Currie
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
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.
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 repair chips early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Currie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Currie get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.

FAQs for Currie
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
Everywhere in the UK, Currie included. Travel is included in the price.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you come to Currie?
We do. We send a technician to Currie for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When to call us in Currie
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
