Bath repair across EH9: what to expect
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Landlord and trade work in EH9
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Signs you need bath repair
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
EH9 questions
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
