About our bath repair in Corby Glen
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Different materials, different repairs
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 the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Corby Glen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath repair in Corby Glen
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lincolnshire.
Do you come to Corby Glen?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Corby Glen. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Signs you need bath repair in Corby Glen
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
Once we’re 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 looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Corby Glen
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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.
