Bath repair for East Lindsey homes

How we handle bath repair in East Lindsey

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Lindsey. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

FAQs for East Lindsey

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
