Bath Repair across North Lincolnshire

Our bath repair service in North Lincolnshire

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

What you will pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in North Lincolnshire

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I book?
