Bath repair for Belfast homes

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

About our bath repair in Belfast

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Belfast

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Belfast

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Belfast questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
