About our bath repair in Manthorpe

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Manthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Manthorpe: your questions answered

When can I have a bath again?

Typically within a day, depending on the repair.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How much does bath repair cost in Manthorpe?

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.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kit or professional 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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should you replace it?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Signs you need bath repair in Manthorpe

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
