Bath repair at your home in Northill
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Northill
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chip where the taps sit

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Northill. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
