What we’re called out for in Greenhill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath repair in Greenhill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Greenhill

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Greenhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Greenhill
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Greenhill?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
