Our bath repair service in NN6
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit.
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 you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Pricing in NN6
Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in NN6
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
FAQs for NN6
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
