Bath Repair in North Luffenham
Our repair technicians come to North Luffenham for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
How we handle bath repair in North Luffenham
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and holes from dropped items, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about bath repair in North Luffenham
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Common problems we fix in North Luffenham
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
