What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Harford. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
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 reply with a fixed quote.
Bath repair in Harford without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix chips under the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Harford
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover Harford?
We do. We send a technician to Harford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Harford is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

When to call us in Harford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What else we do in Harford
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
