Trusted bath repair in Stockbridge

How it works

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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Bath repair in Stockbridge without replacing anything

You can usually use the bath 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. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Common questions in Stockbridge

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.

What guarantee do I get?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Should I repair or replace?

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in Stockbridge?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stockbridge and across Edinburgh.

Do you come to Stockbridge?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stockbridge

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding

  • Pressed steel enamel

Do you need bath repair in Stockbridge?

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 lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
