Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Barrmill without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When to call us in Barrmill
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Questions from Barrmill
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Barrmill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Barrmill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barrmill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually 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 a single visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
