Bargate questions
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Bath repair at your home in Bargate
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need bath repair in Bargate
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders

What affects the price in Bargate
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bargate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bargate, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
