Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
What affects the price in Northfield
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Northfield
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Your questions about bath repair in Northfield
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
