Bath repair in Hartshorne, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and a chipped rim or side, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What we are called out for in Hartshorne
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- 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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Hartshorne
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hartshorne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
