The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole

How we handle bath repair in Skirbeck Quarter
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace in Skirbeck Quarter?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skirbeck Quarter. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Skirbeck Quarter
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
