Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Carrickstone?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Carrickstone questions
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Carrickstone?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your G68 postcode.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.
