How we handle bath repair in Carrington
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We’re frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Carrington
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Carrington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Carrington
What we’re called out for in Carrington
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Carrington
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Carrington
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover the whole of Trafford?
Everywhere in the UK, Carrington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your M31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
