Bath repair at your home in Muirhouse
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to 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, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

When to call us in Muirhouse
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools

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 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, 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 before you book.

FAQs for Muirhouse
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Do you come to Muirhouse?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Muirhouse. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and tidy up when we finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Muirhouse?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH4 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
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 getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
