How bath repair works in BT32
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and chips along the edge of the bath.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How the damage happens
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped 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:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Banbridge and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Common questions in BT32
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
