Bath repair in Rise Carr without replacing anything
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. We are often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rise Carr as everywhere else we work.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Rise Carr
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Rise Carr?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Repairing versus replacing in Rise Carr
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rise Carr. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
