Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the entire UK
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Bath repair at your home in Carbost
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we’re called out for in Carbost
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carbost
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carbost use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, 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
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carbost, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
