About bath repair in Ballymena
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Around Ballymena
Typical jobs here are in homes near Camphill Primary School, Adair Arms Hotel and The People's Park, among other places. Other local landmarks include Slemish College (0.9 miles east) and St. Patrick's Church (0.7 miles north-east). Further afield, we also cover the area around Fairhill Centre (1 mile north) and Galgorm Castle (1.4 miles west).
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ballymena
If you manage property in Ballymena, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Common problems we fix in Ballymena
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Common questions in Ballymena
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
