DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

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 the part we put right.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Honest limits

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

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Northall

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Why repair rather than replace?

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 takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Northall customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Northall: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Northall and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Northall. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
