Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Bath repair at your home in Barnhill
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chipped rim or side.

Common questions in Barnhill
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When to call us in Barnhill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally 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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Barnhill. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
