When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Common questions in Long Street

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How much does bath repair cost in Long Street?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Long Street and the rest of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you need bath repair in Long Street?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 typically cheaper.
