How we handle bath repair in Baythorpe
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. Common call-outs are for impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Baythorpe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Other services in Baythorpe
Baythorpe: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you cover Baythorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Baythorpe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Baythorpe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
