Need bath repair in Harefield?

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Bath repair in Harefield, done in place

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

FAQs for Harefield

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.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

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, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Harefield. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harefield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
