About our bath repair in Barford
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Barford
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Barford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Do you need bath repair in Barford?
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
