Fixed-price bath repair in Stockbridge and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How we handle bath repair in Stockbridge
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stockbridge. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Stockbridge
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Landlord and trade work in Stockbridge
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockbridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Stockbridge
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Common questions in Stockbridge
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
