FAQs for Scothern
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Scothern. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Bath repair at your home in Scothern
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, in roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Scothern
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Scothern
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scothern use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Scothern. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Scothern. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
