Bath repair at your home in Dean Village
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to 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. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches and burns.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. 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.

Do you need bath repair in Dean Village?
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something 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, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

Dean Village questions
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How soon can I use it again?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Do you cover Dean Village?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dean Village. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does bath repair cost in Dean Village?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH4 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
What guarantee do I get?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Roll-top & freestanding

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Dean Village
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
