Bath repair near Larne

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we handle bath repair in Larne

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BT40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

Your questions about bath repair in Larne

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Landlord and trade work in Larne

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
