Your questions about bath repair in Northwood
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you come to Northwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Northwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT12 postcode.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Bath repair in Northwood, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Northwood and across Kent.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Northwood and the surrounding area
Northwood is about 1 mile north-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Our repair technicians come to homes and businesses in Northwood, so there’s no workshop to go to. Northwood is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 65 miles away.
Every address in CT12, CT10 and CT11 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We regularly work on streets such as Gwyn Road, Coxes Lane and Roman Road. You’ll find Northwood on the A254 and A256, so it’s easy for us to reach. If you are just outside Northwood, we cover Ramsgate (1 mile south-east), Upton (1 mile east), St Lawrence (1 mile south), St Peter's (1 mile north-east) and Broadstairs (1 mile north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Canterbury (15 miles west), Dover (15 miles south), Deal (9 miles south), Herne Bay (12 miles west), Walmer (10 miles south) and Wincheap (15 miles west).
Around Northwood
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to The Derby Arms, St Mark's Church and The Charles Dickens School. You will also find Dame Janet Primary Academy (under half a mile south-west) and The Royal Harbour Academy (0.5 miles south-east). Northwood’s nearest station is Ramsgate station, roughly 0.8 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Westwood Cross (0.5 miles north-west) and Ramsgate Museum (1.4 miles south-east). For a walk, there is Sandwich and Pegwell Bay.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Northwood
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
