Bath repair in Merchiston without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Merchiston questions
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces before we start, and tidy up when we finish.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Merchiston?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in Merchiston and across Edinburgh.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Merchiston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EH10 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
How it 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 few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, 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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Merchiston
Most bath damage starts with something being 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 crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
