Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
About our bath repair in Barston
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in Barston
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Barston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your B92 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
