How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Barnwell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel

FAQs for Barnwell
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Barnwell.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
