Bath chip & crack repair in Foston, Lincolnshire
Problem with your bath in Foston? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Repair or replace in Foston?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Foston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Foston
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Foston
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
