Bath repair for Barrs Court homes

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Bath repair in Barrs Court, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Barrs Court questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Barrs Court?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Barrs Court. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo an old 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 Barrs Court?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Barrs Court, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
