About our bath repair in Hardwick
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common problems we fix in Hardwick
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again

Questions from Hardwick
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does bath repair cost in Hardwick?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically within a day, depending on the repair.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
