What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
Bath repair in Fotherby, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. We’re frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and chips on the rim or sides, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Fotherby
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What we’re called out for in Fotherby
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Fotherby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
