What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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

Bath repair at your home in West Coates
Most baths can be used again the next day. A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and burns and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

How the visit 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 tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

FAQs for West Coates
Will you leave a mess?
We cover the area with dust sheets and mask nearby surfaces first, and tidy up when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords and businesses in West Coates book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners in West Coates and across Edinburgh.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When to call us in West Coates
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
