Bath repair in Elmesthorpe without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Elmesthorpe
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Elmesthorpe
For anyone letting property in or around Elmesthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we’re called out for in Elmesthorpe
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
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 so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
