When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic

How we handle bath repair in Carmichael
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Common problems we fix in Carmichael
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the entire UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
