How we handle bath repair in Hykeham
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Hykeham?
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 the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Do you need bath repair in Hykeham?
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Common questions in Hykeham
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
