What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in Horbling get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our bath repair in Horbling
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horbling as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Horbling questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Horbling and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Repairing versus replacing in Horbling
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
