Bath chip & crack repair in Hardingstone, Northamptonshire
Our repair technicians come to Hardingstone for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
What affects the price in Hardingstone
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath repair in Hardingstone, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Hardingstone: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Hardingstone?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Hardingstone
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in Hardingstone
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
