Bath Repair for Carnbroe homes
We travel to Carnbroe for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Bath repair at your home in Carnbroe
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Carnbroe and across North Lanarkshire.

What affects the price in Carnbroe
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carnbroe
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Carnbroe
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of North Lanarkshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we’re called out for in Carnbroe
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in Carnbroe contact us include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
