How we handle bath repair in Harston
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What affects the price in Harston
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Harston
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Harston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Repairing versus replacing in Harston
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
