How we handle bath repair in Spilsby

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Common problems we fix in Spilsby

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again

Questions from Spilsby

Do you come to Spilsby?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Spilsby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Spilsby. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Spilsby. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Spilsby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Spilsby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Spilsby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts 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.
