What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath

For a price in Hanthorpe, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath repair in Hanthorpe without replacing anything

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath repair in Hanthorpe?

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A cracked acrylic bath

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Common questions in Hanthorpe

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Most clients in Hanthorpe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
