Common questions in Carrville
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Repair or replace in Carrville?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Carrville
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carrville. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
