Bath repair in Old Somerby, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a chipped rim or side, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Somerby and across Lincolnshire.

- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Landlord and trade work in Old Somerby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Old Somerby
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
