Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Greenside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When to call us in Greenside
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Greenside
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Greenside questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Greenside.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
