- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
About our bath repair in Brackley
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brackley as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Repair or replace in Brackley?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Your questions about bath repair in Brackley
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brackley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Brackley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
