How we handle bath repair in Hargate
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Hargate questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hargate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Hargate
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
