Bath repair in Old Bolingbroke without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Bolingbroke
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Bolingbroke use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Old Bolingbroke
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you work in Old Bolingbroke?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Old Bolingbroke and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
