Bath Repair in Sciennes

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.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Bath repair in Sciennes without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches and burns.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sciennes as everywhere else we work. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Questions from Sciennes

How much does bath repair cost in Sciennes?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

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.

What guarantee do I get?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Sciennes?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sciennes and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Sciennes?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.

Repairing versus replacing in Sciennes

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Sciennes

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Sciennes

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron 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, often around the taps or the plughole.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
