Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkliston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Kirkliston
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Kirkliston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Kirkliston questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kirkliston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
