Bath repair in Burtoft without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When to call us in Burtoft
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burtoft
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Questions from Burtoft
How do I get a price for bath repair in Burtoft?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
