Common problems we fix in Scunthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Scunthorpe
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. 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. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
