When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

About our bath repair in North Northamptonshire

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

What affects the price in North Northamptonshire

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
