About our bath repair in Barnwell
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Whether it’s chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, we can normally put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Barnwell

More services for Barnwell
Do you need bath repair in Barnwell?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common questions in Barnwell
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
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.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
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 typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
