Your questions about bath repair in Harbottle
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Landlord and trade work in Harbottle
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harbottle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
If you are in Harbottle and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Harbottle
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 a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Signs you need bath repair in Harbottle
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
