How we handle bath repair in Barnby

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We are often asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Barnby: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What we are called out for in Barnby

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
