Bath Repair near Canonmills

How we handle bath repair in Canonmills

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. Most baths can be used again the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Do you need bath repair in Canonmills?

Most bath damage comes from something 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.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Common questions in Canonmills

Do you cover Canonmills?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Canonmills and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
