Bath Repair in Friern Barnet
Fixed-price bath repair in Friern Barnet and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How we handle bath repair in Friern Barnet
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair is not the answer

- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Friern Barnet
Landlord and trade work in Friern Barnet
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Friern Barnet as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: 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.
