What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

How we handle bath repair in Royston
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Royston
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common problems we fix in Royston
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Barnsley and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Royston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Royston
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Royston and the rest of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
