Alton Barnes questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alton Barnes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Bath repair in Alton Barnes without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Alton Barnes
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Alton Barnes. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
