How we handle bath repair in Waddington
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
When to call us in Waddington
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps

What affects the price in Waddington
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
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.
FAQs for Waddington
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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 is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
