Bath repair at your home in Greendykes
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. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Do you protect the room?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and tidy up before we leave.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, 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.

How the visit works
When we visit, 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 clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
When to call us in Greendykes
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, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
