Common problems we fix in Carr Hill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Bath repair in Carr Hill without replacing anything
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rust by the waste and overflow, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Carr Hill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE9 postcode.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carr Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
