Bath Repair in The Grange

Bath repair in The Grange without replacing anything

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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and scratches and burns.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from The Grange

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up when we finish.

How soon can I use it again?

Usually by the next day, depending on what we’ve done. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in The Grange?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in The Grange and across Edinburgh.

How do I get a price for bath repair in The Grange?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a 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.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What guarantee do I get?

All our work carries a 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, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need bath repair in The Grange?

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, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
  • Scratches and burns
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

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. Expect it to take 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. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
