Common problems we fix in Springthorpe

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Bath repair at your home in Springthorpe
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Springthorpe as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Springthorpe
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Springthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Springthorpe and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Springthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on

- Pressed steel enamel

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
