Bath repair at your home in West Barnes

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from West Barnes

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Common problems we fix in West Barnes

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Barnes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
