Bath repair at your home in Harpsden
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Questions from Harpsden
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Harpsden?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Harpsden for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does bath repair cost in Harpsden?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Harpsden included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

When to call us in Harpsden
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
