Bath repair in Westfield 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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks and holes in acrylic baths and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair 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, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common questions in Westfield
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Westfield?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EH11 postcode, and we’ll reply with the price.
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.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses in Westfield?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Westfield and across Edinburgh.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.

When to call us in Westfield
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, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scratches and burns
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
