Bath repair at your home in Barrington
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a kit repair that didn’t last.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Barrington
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you need bath repair in Barrington?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Barrington contact us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairs by material
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Repair or replace in Barrington?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
