Bath repair in Glooston, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Repair or replace in Glooston?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Glooston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Glooston. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
FAQs for Glooston
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need bath repair in Glooston?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
