How we handle bath repair in Besses o' th' Barn

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scratches and burns and damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Besses o' th' Barn

What guarantee do I get?

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and tidy up when we finish.

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.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How it works

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 a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Do you need bath repair in Besses o' th' Barn?

Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows. Acrylic baths tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches and burns
  • Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
  • Rust spots where the enamel has gone
  • Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
