Bath Repair in Countesthorpe
Problem with your bath in Countesthorpe? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in Countesthorpe without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and deep scratches in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel

Common problems we fix in Countesthorpe

Customers normally contact us about:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Common questions in Countesthorpe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repairing versus replacing in Countesthorpe
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. 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.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
