- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our bath repair in Sleaford
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Sleaford
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we’re called out for in Sleaford
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
