Landlord and trade work in Hartest Hill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
Bath repair in Hartest Hill, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP29 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend 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, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Signs you need bath repair in Hartest Hill
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips under the taps

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hartest Hill. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
