Bath chip & crack repair in Draughton, Northamptonshire
Problem with your bath in Draughton? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chipped rim or side
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle bath repair in Draughton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and chips caused by builders.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Draughton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Draughton
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace in Draughton?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Draughton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Draughton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
