Do you need bath repair in New Town?
Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being 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 tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Bath repair at your home in New Town
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Town as everywhere else we work. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

New Town questions
When can I use it again after the repair?
Usually the same day or the next, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
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.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath repair in New Town?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH3 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.

What happens on the day
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 morning or an afternoon. 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.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in New Town
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
