Bath repair in North Hykeham, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. 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. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Usually it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for North Hykeham
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What else we do in North Hykeham
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
