- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we handle bath repair in Mablethorpe
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mablethorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mablethorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LN12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
