Bath repair in East Harlsey without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Do you need bath repair in East Harlsey?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for East Harlsey. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Harlsey
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What else we do in East Harlsey
East Harlsey: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to East Harlsey?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to East Harlsey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
