Bath Repair for Barrasford homes
Problem with your bath in Barrasford? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Barrasford: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need bath repair in Barrasford?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Barrasford
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
