Bath chip & crack repair in Allington, Lincolnshire
Our technicians come to Allington for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Other services in Allington
Do you need bath repair in Allington?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Allington: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you cover Allington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Allington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Allington
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
