The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps

Bath repair in Skeldyke without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and a chip where the taps sit.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Skeldyke
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What else we do in Skeldyke
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Skeldyke. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
