Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Cargreen: your questions answered

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cargreen.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What affects the price in Cargreen

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Cargreen

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

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

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
