How we handle bath repair in Carmeltown
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips caused by builders, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carmeltown as everywhere else we work.

Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Carmeltown
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carmeltown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
