Bath repair across EH29: what to expect
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
What it costs in EH29
Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Near you in Kirkliston
Around Kirkliston, we work in homes near Queensferry High School and Kirkliston Parish Church and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Dalmeny station, roughly 2.3 miles north-east. Nearby you will also find The Gyle Shopping Centre (3.7 miles east) and Illieston Castle (3.1 miles south-west). The countryside around Kirkliston includes Dundas Loch.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Signs you need bath repair
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
