Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Bath repair in Barns Green, done in place

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Barns Green

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need bath repair in Barns Green?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Barns Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Barns Green questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Barns Green?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Barns Green?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
