DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Barrow
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Barrow?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Common problems we fix in Barrow
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barrow. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Barrow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
