Bath repair in Carstairs Junction without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. We are often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carstairs Junction as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Carstairs Junction
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should you replace it?

Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Carstairs Junction
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carstairs Junction. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath repair in Carstairs Junction
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ML11 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Carstairs Junction?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carstairs Junction for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
