Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Bath repair in Messingham, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, across pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Messingham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Messingham questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Lincolnshire.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Messingham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Messingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Messingham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Messingham
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Before you book anyone
