Bath repair at your home in EH45
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 are often asked to fix chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Pricing in EH45
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Around Peebles
In Peebles, that means homes near Peebles High School, Peebles Old Parish Church and County Hotel and the streets around them. A little further out are Peebles Castle (less than half a mile west) and Hay Lodge Hospital (less than half a mile west). Not far away are Ven Law.
Repairing versus replacing
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Signs you need bath repair
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being 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 cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
