About our bath repair in Ballymena
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Ballymena questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you come to Ballymena?
We do. Technicians travel to Ballymena from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Ballymena. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Ballymena, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

What else we do in Ballymena
When to call us in Ballymena
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Ballymena contact us are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
