How we handle bath repair in Cartsdyke
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. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Cartsdyke
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
What we are called out for in Cartsdyke
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
