Do you need bath repair in Barningham?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

About our bath repair in Barningham
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and a chip where the taps sit.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Barningham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from Barningham
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does bath repair cost in Barningham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
