Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.

Should I try a DIY kit 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Hare Green
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hare Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What else we do in Hare Green
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
