How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
About our bath repair in Kingsknowe

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Kingsknowe: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Kingsknowe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

What affects the price in Kingsknowe
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
