Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castlecary
If you manage property in Castlecary, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Castlecary
Most bath damage comes from something 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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last

FAQs for Castlecary
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
