Bath repair near Eastgate

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Bath repair at your home in Eastgate

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Eastgate and across Lincolnshire.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Eastgate questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Eastgate?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Eastgate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Eastgate?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
