Bath repair in Barton in the Beans, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CV13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Barton in the Beans
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Signs you need bath repair in Barton in the Beans
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
