For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Clay Coton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Bath repair in Clay Coton without replacing anything
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 holes from dropped items and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Clay Coton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Clay Coton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected

Questions from Clay Coton
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Clay Coton.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
