Bath repair in Stainborough without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Stainborough
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Stainborough
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Your questions about bath repair in Stainborough
Do you work in Stainborough?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stainborough. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Barnsley.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
