Bath repair in Maltby, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Maltby
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Maltby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Do you need bath repair in Maltby?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Maltby contact us are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Maltby

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from photos 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Maltby?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
