Common problems we fix in Washingborough
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Bath repair in Washingborough, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in Washingborough
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Washingborough?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Washingborough clients choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Washingborough
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
