Questions from Barking
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Barking?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What else we do in Barking
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Common problems we fix in Barking
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

- Cast iron enamel

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
