Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
About our bath repair in Carbrook
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s chips under the taps and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Carbrook?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Carbrook
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Carbrook questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Are there extra charges for Carbrook?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
