About our bath repair in Humby

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Humby, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Humby

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Humby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Humby

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Humby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
