Bath repair at your home in Harbertonford
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: 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 sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, we can usually put it right.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Harbertonford
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Your questions about bath repair in Harbertonford
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Signs you need bath repair in Harbertonford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harbertonford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before booking
- Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Harbertonford. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Harbertonford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
