Bath repair in Harswell without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. 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, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
When to call us in Harswell
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Harswell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Harswell questions
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work in Harswell?
We do. We send a technician to Harswell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Harswell included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Harswell
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Harswell. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Harswell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
