Bath chip & crack repair in Harmston, Lincolnshire
Bath repair for Harmston, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle bath repair in Harmston
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Do you need bath repair in Harmston?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Most clients in Harmston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
