How we handle bath repair in Cold Harbour

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We’re often asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SL6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Cold Harbour

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Questions from Cold Harbour

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Cold Harbour?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cold Harbour. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Cold Harbour, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Cold Harbour?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cold Harbour. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
