Bath chip & crack repair in Stoke Albany, Northamptonshire
Damaged bath in Stoke Albany? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Stoke Albany
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Stoke Albany
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Albany as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Stoke Albany
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Stoke Albany
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
