Bath repair in Northowram without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Northowram and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Northowram. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Northowram: your questions answered
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Northowram?
We do. We send a technician to Northowram for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
