Bath repair across EH10: what to expect
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. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust spots around the plughole.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Pricing in EH10
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in EH10
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in EH10 and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
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.
Common questions in EH10

Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
