Common questions in Gorgie
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Edinburgh.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
About our bath repair in Gorgie
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gorgie and across Edinburgh.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Gorgie
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

More services for Gorgie
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Gorgie, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
