Bath Repair for Oundle homes
Problem with your bath in Oundle? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found 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.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Signs you need bath repair in Oundle
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common questions in Oundle
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you cover Oundle?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Oundle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

- A fixed quote before booking

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
