Bath repair in Newbottle, done in place
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 nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newbottle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts 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 doing several items at once reduces it.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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.
Common questions in Newbottle
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Newbottle is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work in Newbottle?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newbottle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
