About bath repair in BT38
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips on the rim or sides.
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
What you will pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for BT38. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Rooms protected and left tidy

- Colour mixed on the day to match

What’s near Carrickfergus
Around Carrickfergus, we work in homes near Ulidia Integrated College, Mortuary Chapel in graveyard and Victoria Primary School, among other places. A little further out are Whiteabbey Hospital (6 miles south-west) and East Antrim Battalion Heritage Society Boys' Brigade Museum (within half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Carrickfergus include Lough Mourne and Carn Hill.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in BT38
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in BT38 get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Repair or replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Questions from BT38
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

When can I have a bath again?
Usually the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Everywhere in the UK, BT38 included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
