Bath repair in South Barrow without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and a cracked acrylic bath, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in South Barrow
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Your questions about bath repair in South Barrow
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Do you need bath repair in South Barrow?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
