Bath repair in Lower Thorpe without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in Lower Thorpe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts

Lower Thorpe questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you come to Lower Thorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lower Thorpe and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Lower Thorpe?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Thorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
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. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
