What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

South Rauceby: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NG34 postcode.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you need bath repair in South Rauceby?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
