Bath repair at your home in BT17
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips on the rim or sides, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Around Dunmurry
Around Dunmurry, we work in homes near Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park, Our Lady Queen of Peace Primary School and St Colm's High School, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Kennedy Centre (2.4 miles north-east) and Musgrave Park Hospital (1.8 miles north-east). Not far away are Bog Meadows.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What affects the price in BT17
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in BT17, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How the damage happens
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
