Questions from Helsey
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Helsey?
We do. Technicians travel to Helsey from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Bath repair at your home in Helsey
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and impact holes in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 is what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as 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. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Helsey
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Helsey as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
