Bath repair for Ufford homes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Ufford questions

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ufford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  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. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Do you need bath repair in Ufford?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Ufford

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

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
