How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Bath repair in Burgh Muir without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Signs you need bath repair in Burgh Muir
Most bath damage starts 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 lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

Repair or replace in Burgh Muir?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
