Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Northacre
For anyone letting property in or around Northacre, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Northacre
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
When to call us in Northacre
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
Northacre: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
