About our bath repair in Carfin
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and holes from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carfin use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carfin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Carfin: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
For a price in Carfin, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What we’re called out for in Carfin
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What else we do in Carfin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
