Bath repair near Plumpton

Bath repair in Plumpton without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Plumpton

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Plumpton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Plumpton

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Do you need bath repair in Plumpton?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
