Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Carrickfergus and the surrounding area
Carrickfergus is in Northern Ireland. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Common problems we fix in Carrickfergus
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Your questions about bath repair in Carrickfergus
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carrickfergus. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Carrickfergus customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Carrickfergus. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Carrickfergus and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
