About our bath repair in Muirhouses
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
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.

What else we do in Muirhouses
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Muirhouses
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Muirhouses
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Muirhouses questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
