About our bath repair in Harlton
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Harlton
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Harlton
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Harlton
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
