Fixed-price bath repair in Northorpe and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we handle bath repair in Northorpe
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Northorpe
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Signs you need bath repair in Northorpe
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
