Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. 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, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Barrow
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barrow. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Barrow
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Barrow?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Barrow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
