How we handle bath repair in Barns of Claverhouse
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 regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Barns of Claverhouse questions
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Signs you need bath repair in Barns of Claverhouse
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
