Bath chip & crack repair in Sulby, Northamptonshire
Problem with your bath in Sulby? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Bath repair in Sulby, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
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 feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Sulby: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Sulby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sulby and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Sulby
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
