How we handle bath repair in North Carlton
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 repaired in place, typically in a single visit. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a cracked acrylic bath.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in North Carlton and across Lincolnshire.

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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in North Carlton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips under the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
