Bath repair across LN5: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, normally the following day.
Prices in LN5
Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Landmarks near Waddington
In Waddington, that means homes near Waddington All Saints Academy, Sir Robert Pattinson Academy and Horse And Jockey Public House. The nearest railway station is Hykeham station, roughly 2.8 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include St John's Hospital (1.7 miles north) and Thorngate (3.8 miles north). Open spaces near Waddington include Brayford Pool.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in LN5, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
LN5 questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in LN5.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
