Bath chip & crack repair in Ednam, Scottish Borders
Local bath repair for Ednam: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Ednam
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Ednam, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
When to call us in Ednam
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- What preparation is included

What else we do in Ednam
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What affects the price in Ednam
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ednam. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. 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 price.
FAQs for Ednam
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ednam?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
