About our bath repair in Billingborough

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need bath repair in Billingborough

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again

Billingborough questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you come to Billingborough?

We do. We send a technician to Billingborough for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
