Bath repair for Tealby Thorpe homes

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Tealby Thorpe

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Tealby Thorpe

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Tealby Thorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tealby Thorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Do you need bath repair in Tealby Thorpe?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
