How we handle bath repair in Hackleton
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Hackleton: your questions answered
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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, normally the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Related 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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
