About our bath repair in Carndu

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Carndu

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carndu. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Carndu?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
