Bath repair in Granton without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Granton

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Granton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Granton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Granton. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
