About our bath repair in Hardham
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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 about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Hardham: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hardham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What else we do in Hardham
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
