Bath repair in Caythorpe, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Caythorpe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For a price in Caythorpe, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Caythorpe
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel

Questions from Caythorpe
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Caythorpe and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you come to Caythorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Caythorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When to call us in Caythorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

- How changes to the job are handled

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
