How we handle bath repair in Northam
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need bath repair in Northam?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Northam: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Northam?
We do. Technicians travel to Northam from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through

Repairing versus replacing in Northam
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 nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

What affects the price in Northam
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Northam. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Northam and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
