Bath repair at your home in Burghmuirhead
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Burghmuirhead as everywhere else we work. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

When to call us in Burghmuirhead
Most bath damage starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

Burghmuirhead questions
Do you cover Burghmuirhead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Burghmuirhead and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Burghmuirhead?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually by the next day, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Do you protect the room?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and clean up when we finish.
Repairing versus replacing in Burghmuirhead
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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
