Common problems we fix in Corby
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Questions from Corby
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How invisible is a bath repair?
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Corby
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
