Bath repair at your home in Barley Green
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barley Green and across Suffolk.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Related advice
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barley Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Barley Green
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
