Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath repair in Naseby
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about damage beneath the taps and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Common questions in Naseby
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Naseby?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Naseby?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
