Bath repair in Barrowby without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What we’re called out for in Barrowby
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barrowby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HG3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Barrowby: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
