Bath repair near Tetford

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath repair in Tetford

Repairing baths is what we do most. 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. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tetford and across Lincolnshire.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Signs you need bath repair in Tetford

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tetford. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Tetford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

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.

How long before I can use the bath?

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

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 a hole in a bath?

Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tetford.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
