Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bath repair in Rothersthorpe without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips under the taps.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Rothersthorpe
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
