How we handle bath repair in Ballycastle
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Ballycastle
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Ballycastle: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
