Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Bath repair in Carnock without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Carnock, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Carnock

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Carnock

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Carnock?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carnock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Fife. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
