Common questions in North Leith
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.
How much does bath repair cost in North Leith?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH6 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and clean up before we leave.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Bath repair in North Leith without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and rust spots where the enamel has gone.
All our work is covered by 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.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Do you need bath repair in North Leith?
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, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
