Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:

Bath repair at your home in Carrick Knowe
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.

Carrick Knowe questions
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Carrick Knowe?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH12 postcode.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrick Knowe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Carrick Knowe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
