About our bath repair in Cranoe
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cranoe. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Cranoe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath

Common questions in Cranoe
Do you cover Cranoe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cranoe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Cranoe and the rest of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say 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.
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cranoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
