About our bath repair in Carr Cross
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
When to call us in Carr Cross
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps

Landlord and trade work in Carr Cross
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Carr Cross
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Carr Cross?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Carr Cross?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Carr Cross, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
