How we handle bath repair in Carr Houses
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 repaired in place, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and deep scratches in acrylic, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Carr Houses
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you need bath repair in Carr Houses?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
