What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grafton Regis. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Grafton Regis, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
About our bath repair in Grafton Regis
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We are often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Do you need bath repair in Grafton Regis?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions from Grafton Regis
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northamptonshire.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
