Common questions in Harcombe Bottom
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Harcombe Bottom?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Harcombe Bottom
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in Harcombe Bottom?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harcombe Bottom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
