The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we handle bath repair in Heckington
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Signs you need bath repair in Heckington
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the whole UK

Your questions about bath repair in Heckington
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are there extra charges for Heckington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
