Bath chip & crack repair in Newnham, Northamptonshire
Our repair technicians come to Newnham for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, 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 it can start to leak underneath.
Bath repair at your home in Newnham
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Newnham, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Newnham
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Newnham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newnham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Newnham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need bath repair in Newnham?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repairing versus replacing in Newnham
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newnham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
