Bath repair at your home in South Killingholme
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.
In a village like South Killingholme, some baths have been in for many years. A sound older bath is well worth repairing without disturbing the rest of the room.
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.

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, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in South Killingholme
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
Landlords with property near Habrough station (about 1.6 miles south) use us between tenancies, so baths are repaired rather than replaced.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Older homes around South Killingholme may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in South Killingholme
I let a flat near Habrough station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
My house in South Killingholme is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We will give you an honest view from photos.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North East Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
