Bath repair in Bar Hill, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. 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. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Bar Hill
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Bar Hill
Do you cover Bar Hill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Bar Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Bar Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Signs you need bath repair in Bar Hill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
