DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath repair in Hartwith without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hartwith
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartwith as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hartwith. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hartwith. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
Most clients in Hartwith get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
