Bath repair for Curriehill homes

Why repair rather than replace?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Curriehill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

About our bath repair in Curriehill

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Curriehill and across Edinburgh.

Curriehill: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

When can I have a bath again?

Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Landlord and trade work in Curriehill

For anyone letting property in or around Curriehill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic

What affects the price in Curriehill

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
