Bath repair in Harberton, done in place
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Harberton as everywhere else we work.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
FAQs for Harberton
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace in Harberton?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
