Bath repair in Amcotts without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What affects the price in Amcotts
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Amcotts
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish

Common questions in Amcotts
Do you cover the entire of North Lincolnshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Amcotts and the rest of North Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Are there extra charges for Amcotts?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Repair or replace in Amcotts?
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. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will 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 next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
