About our bath repair in New Barn
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in New Barn
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in New Barn contact us are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Other services in New Barn
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
New Barn: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
