How we handle bath repair in Tickencote

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and deep scratches in acrylic, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

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

What affects the price in Tickencote

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about bath repair in Tickencote

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What areas do you cover?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

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