Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair in North Close without replacing anything
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath repair in North Close
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the repair show?
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do you work in North Close?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to North Close. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for North Close. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in North Close
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Common reasons people in North Close contact us include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
