Bath repair across EH43: 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 repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A kit repair that didn’t last
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around EH43, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
