About our bath repair in Empingham
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Empingham
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
Most customers in Empingham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in Empingham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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 book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Empingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
