How we handle bath repair in Botcherby
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 and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Botcherby
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Botcherby.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Repair or replace in Botcherby?
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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Botcherby. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of

- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
