The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Bath repair in Barham without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Barham
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Barham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Your questions about bath repair in Barham
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
