Bath repair in Long Buckby, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

FAQs for Long Buckby
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Long Buckby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Long Buckby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Long Buckby
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A cracked acrylic bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
