Bath Repair in Louth
Problem with your bath in Louth? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair in Louth without replacing anything
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Louth?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Louth
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Common reasons people in Louth contact us are:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common questions in Louth
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Louth?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
