Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Bath repair in Northmoor without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Questions from Northmoor
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Northmoor?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Northmoor

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Northmoor, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
