Bath Repair for Alvingham homes
Bath repair across Alvingham and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
About our bath repair in Alvingham
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. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Alvingham: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Alvingham
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Alvingham contact us are:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Alvingham?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No extra charge for your area
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
