Bath repair at your home in Austerby
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Austerby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Austerby. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Austerby
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Austerby questions
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Our work in Austerby
Austerby is about 9 miles west of Spalding, in Lincolnshire. We visit customers in Austerby and the surrounding area, so there is no workshop to go to. Our repair technicians cover all 732 towns and villages in Lincolnshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Birmingham, about 67 miles away.
Here we cover the PE10 postcode area. From Pond Lane, Abbey Road and Cross Lane or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. You’ll find Austerby on the A15 and A151, so it’s easy for us to reach. We also travel to Eastgate (1 mile east), Bourne (1 mile west), Northorpe (1 mile south), Cawthorpe (2 miles north-west) and Dyke (2 miles north).

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
