What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

About our bath repair in Hargrave
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hargrave as everywhere else we work.

A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Hargrave
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hargrave. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
