Our bath repair service in BT56
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath.
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Common problems we fix in BT56
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Materials and what they mean for 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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Questions from BT56
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including BT56 and the rest of Coleraine. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for BT56?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
