What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
About our bath repair in Horncastle
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Horncastle
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Horncastle
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Horncastle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What else we do in Horncastle
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Horncastle: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
