Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we handle bath repair in Barking Riverside
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Barking Riverside
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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. There’s no charge for travel to Barking Riverside. The price depends on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barking Riverside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Do you need bath repair in Barking Riverside?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
