Bath repair in Upper Boddington, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Upper Boddington and across Northamptonshire.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Upper Boddington?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Boddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Questions from Upper Boddington
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
