Bath repair in Northleigh, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Northleigh
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Northleigh
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Are there extra charges for Northleigh?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What else we do in Northleigh
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
