What we can’t put right

- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What affects the price in Carrington
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Carrington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common questions in Carrington
How do I get a price for bath repair in Carrington?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
