Bath Repair near Greenside

How we handle bath repair in Greenside

Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with a 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.

Signs you need bath repair in Greenside

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 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 after spotting one of these:

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

Why Greenside customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
