Bath repair across Newtownabbey: what to expect

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Signs you need bath repair

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

Rusty patches near the plughole
Snagging damage from a refit
A chipped rim or side
Deep scratches in acrylic
