For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Haregate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Haregate: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
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.

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Common problems we fix in Haregate
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
