Bath repair at your home in Lower East Carleton
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower East Carleton
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

FAQs for Lower East Carleton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does bath repair cost in Lower East Carleton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower East Carleton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
