What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Bath repair at your home in Barwell
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Barwell
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Do you need bath repair in Barwell?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
