What affects the price in Somerby
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Somerby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Common problems we fix in Somerby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What to look for in a quote

Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Somerby
How much does bath repair cost in Somerby?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
