Bath repair at your home in EH36
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Repairing versus replacing
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally 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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in EH36
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you cover EH36?
We do. We send a technician to EH36 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
