Bath repair at your home in NP13
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps.
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairing versus replacing
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 you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in NP13
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Signs you need bath repair
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in NP13 contact us are:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
NP13: your questions answered
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover NP13?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to NP13 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
