Bath repair across North Down: what to expect
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
What it costs in North Down
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Around Bangor, we work in homes near Ward Park, Bangor Central Integrated Primary School and Hunter’s Bar. You’ll also find Bangor Abbey Parish Church of Ireland (within half a mile north-west) and Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College (less than half a mile north). Well-known places in the area include North Down Museum (under half a mile north) and Bangor Community Hospital (0.5 miles north).
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the damage happens
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Your questions about bath repair in North Down
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
