Bath repair in South Reston, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Reston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
South Reston questions
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you come to South Reston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Reston and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
