How we handle bath repair in Newtownabbey
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath.

Repair or replace in Newtownabbey?

Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
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.

Do you need bath repair in Newtownabbey?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
