Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Common questions in Northwick
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Northwick is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Northwick?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Northwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Northwick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in Northwick
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
