How we handle bath repair in Wellingborough
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wellingborough and across Northamptonshire.

Common questions in Wellingborough
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?
The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover Wellingborough?
We do. We send a technician to Wellingborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
