Bath repair in Barrow Nook without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and chips along the edge of the bath, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath repair in Barrow Nook
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Barrow Nook
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you come to Barrow Nook?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Barrow Nook. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
