What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Carlton Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK

Carlton Hill: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you come to Carlton Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carlton Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Do you need bath repair in Carlton Hill?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
