Bath repair in Barkston Ash, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Questions from Barkston Ash
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Barkston Ash?
We do. We send a technician to Barkston Ash for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barkston Ash. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When to call us in Barkston Ash
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
