Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.
Common problems we fix in Scaldwell
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before you book

Common questions in Scaldwell
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, 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 photo.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
