Bath repair in Pilrig without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Pilrig
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Pilrig and the rest of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pilrig
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pilrig as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
