How we handle bath repair in Metheringham Fen
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
When to call us in Metheringham Fen
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What affects the price in Metheringham Fen
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Metheringham Fen. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once

- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
