Landlords, agents and businesses in Northampton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northampton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Northampton
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Northampton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts 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 book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the entire UK

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

FAQs for Northampton
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you need bath repair in Northampton?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath

- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
