Bath chip & crack repair in Barry, Angus
Fixed-price bath repair in Barry and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we handle bath repair in Barry
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Barry
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barry as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Barry?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
