Repair or replace in Carrington?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle bath repair in Carrington
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Advice

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Carrington questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
