Bath chip & crack repair in Hatton Park, Northamptonshire

- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle bath repair in Hatton Park
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Hatton Park: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Hatton Park?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hatton Park. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
