Bath repair at your home in BT37
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last.
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 clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Prices in BT37

Around Whiteabbey
We visit homes around St James' Primary School and Nursery Unit, Abbey Community College and Church of the Ascension and the streets around them. Nearby you will also find Museum at the Mill (2.1 miles north-west) and Belfast Castle (2.7 miles south-west). The countryside around Whiteabbey includes Carnmoney Hill and Belfast Lough RSPB Reserve.
Repairing versus replacing
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 you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What affects the price in BT37
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we are called out for in BT37
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions from BT37
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, 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 picture.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
