Landlords, agents and businesses in Carr
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath repair in Carr
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we’re called out for in Carr
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carr. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carr. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Carr questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
If you are in Carr and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Carr
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 nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
