Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath repair in Courteenhall
Do you work in Courteenhall?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Courteenhall and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Courteenhall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
