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 usually use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barton. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Barton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Barton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Barton?
We do. We send a technician to Barton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Barton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need bath repair in Barton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
