Bath repair in Navenby without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Navenby
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Navenby
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Navenby?
We do. We send a technician to Navenby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in Navenby
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
