Common questions in Badby
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
About our bath repair in Badby
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and impact holes in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Badby and across Northamptonshire.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Badby
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Badby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairing versus replacing in Badby
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
