Bath repair at your home in Hareplain

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Hareplain: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

How much does bath repair cost in Hareplain?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Hareplain

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hareplain. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
