Bath repair in Welton, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Welton and across Lincolnshire.

FAQs for Welton
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Signs you need bath repair in Welton
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Welton. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
