Bath chip & crack repair in Harston, Cambridgeshire
Bath repair for Harston, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair in Harston, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath repair in Harston
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repair or replace in Harston?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Harston, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
