Bath repair in Barrow's Green, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Barrow's Green
Are there extra charges for Barrow's Green?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Barrow's Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Barrow's Green, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Barrow's Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need bath repair in Barrow's Green

- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips along the edge of the bath
