Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Finedon
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Common reasons people in Finedon contact us are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Landlords, agents and businesses in Finedon
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Finedon: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath repair in Finedon?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NN9 postcode.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
