How bath repair works in Antrim
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a hole punched through by something heavy, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.

Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the entire of Antrim?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
