Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair in Northampton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK

- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.

Advice
Northampton: your questions answered
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Worcestershire.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
