Dalmeny questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Dalmeny?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How we handle bath repair in Dalmeny
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Dalmeny
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairing versus replacing in Dalmeny
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalmeny as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
