Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Redhall. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Redhall
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Pressed steel enamel
What we are called out for in Redhall
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.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Common questions in Redhall
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Redhall?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
