About our bath repair in Eydon
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Repair or replace in Eydon?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
What else we do in Eydon
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eydon
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Do you need bath repair in Eydon?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Eydon questions
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
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.
Are there extra charges for Eydon?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
