About our bath repair in Boston

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Boston and across Lincolnshire.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Covering Boston

Boston is in Lincolnshire. From the centre of Boston to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. We work in all 732 towns and villages across Lincolnshire.

Jobs in PE21, PE20 and PE22 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, Pescod Square and Whiting Square. Being close to the A16 and A17, Boston is easy for our repair technicians to reach. Close by, we cover Staniland (1 mile south-west), St Thomas' (1 mile south), Witham (1 mile north-west), Skirbeck Quarter (1 mile south) and Skirbeck (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cover Spalding (14 miles south-west), Holbeach (12 miles south), Woodhall Spa (15 miles north-west), Pinchbeck (13 miles south-west), Long Sutton (14 miles south-east) and Kirton (3 miles south). Being one of Lincolnshire’s larger places, Boston is somewhere we visit often.

Near you in Boston

In Boston, that means homes near Witham Way Country Park, Boston Grammar School and The Golden Lion Public House and the streets around them. You will also find Unitarian Church (under half a mile east), Kitwood Boys School (0.8 miles north) and Boston Pioneers Free School Academy (less than half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Boston itself: Boston station. Other landmarks nearby include Frampton Castle (2.9 miles south) and Pilgrim Hospital (1.3 miles north-east). The countryside around Boston includes RSPB Frampton Marsh.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common problems we fix in Boston

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A cracked acrylic bath

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Boston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Repairing versus replacing in Boston

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Boston

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Normally, 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 picture.

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.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Boston included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Do you cover Boston?

We do. Technicians travel to Boston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
