Bath repair at your home in BT20
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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, usually the next day.

Signs you need bath repair
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in BT20
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around BT20, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
FAQs for BT20
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you cover the whole of North Down?
All of North Down, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
