Donaghadee questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Ards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Bath repair at your home in Donaghadee
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One price list for the entire UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What affects the price in Donaghadee
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
