Bath chip & crack repair in Barton, Gloucestershire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths for householders, landlords and businesses in Barton. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Bath repair in Barton, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When to call us in Barton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. 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.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know

Barton: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Barton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better 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.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
