Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Harpley

Common problems we fix in Harpley

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped rim or side

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Harpley

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Harpley

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
