Careby questions
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does bath repair cost in Careby?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE9 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Bath repair in Careby, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 often lifts.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Careby
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
