Bath chip & crack repair in Howsham, Lincolnshire
We travel to Howsham for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Howsham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
About our bath repair in Howsham
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common questions in Howsham
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What else we do in Howsham
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
