Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Harthill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Harthill: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
