How we handle bath repair in Wadenhoe
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Wadenhoe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we’re called out for in Wadenhoe
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book

What else we do in Wadenhoe
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Wadenhoe
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
