About our bath repair in Bardney
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
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, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bardney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Bardney and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
When to call us in Bardney
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
