Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair in Baretrees, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Baretrees
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Baretrees
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Baretrees
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
