Bath repair at your home in Barrow Common
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Barrow Common questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Barrow Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Barrow Common, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
