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 a single visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Barnet. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Barnet. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What happens on the day

Common problems we fix in East Barnet
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in East Barnet
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
