Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Barugh?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Questions from Barugh
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
Everywhere in the UK, Barugh included. Travel is included in the price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What affects the price in Barugh
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Barugh, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
