Bath Repair in Granton

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 morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Bath repair in Granton without replacing anything

Most baths can be used again the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.

All our work comes with 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.

Questions from Granton

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.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords and businesses in Granton book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Granton and across Edinburgh.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and clean up when we finish.

Do you cover Granton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Granton and the rest of Edinburgh. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What a repair can’t fix

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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath repair in Granton?

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 enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Granton

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
