We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Bath repair in Addlethorpe, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Addlethorpe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
