Bath Repair near Gracemount

Bath repair in Gracemount without replacing anything

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. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

When to call us in Gracemount

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Gracemount

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means 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 one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
