About our bath repair in Edinburgh Waterfront
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Repair or replace in Edinburgh Waterfront?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Edinburgh Waterfront clients choose us
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Edinburgh Waterfront: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Landlord and trade work in Edinburgh Waterfront
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Edinburgh Waterfront
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Signs you need bath repair in Edinburgh Waterfront
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
