FAQs for Drumbrae
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does bath repair cost in Drumbrae?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When to call us in Drumbrae
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Drumbrae. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Drumbrae
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
