Bath repair at your home in Nettleham
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Common problems we fix in Nettleham
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Nettleham
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Nettleham questions
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repairing versus replacing in Nettleham
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
