About bath repair in BT40
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Local landmarks in Larne
Typical jobs here are in homes near Larne and Inver Primary School, Larne High School and The Manchester Bar, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Olderfleet Castle (0.5 miles east) and Larne Museum and Arts Centre (0.5 miles north). The countryside around Larne includes Black Hill.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
