Bath repair at your home in Bottesford
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 normally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Common problems we fix in Bottesford
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.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
