Bath repair for Harrapul homes

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Bath repair in Harrapul, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can usually put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Harrapul

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips caused by builders

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

Common questions in Harrapul

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
