Our bath repair service in EH34

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We are often asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Signs you need bath repair

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage beneath the taps

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to EH34. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in EH34 get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
