About our bath repair in Little France
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s impact holes in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little France use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath repair in Little France?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath

Common questions in Little France
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Little France
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little France. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
