- Repairs from £95
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Heriot questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Heriot included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Heriot, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heriot. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need bath repair in Heriot
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
