Bath repair at your home in Castle Quarter
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Castle Quarter
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Castle Quarter. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Castle Quarter get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

When to call us in Castle Quarter
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
