Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Hemswell
Do you cover Hemswell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hemswell and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hemswell. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- 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 combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Hemswell
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
