Landlord and trade work in Harrowden
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
About our bath repair in Harrowden
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Harrowden
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, 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 photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Harrowden included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Harrowden?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
For a price in Harrowden, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
