Bath repair at your home in Bentlawnt

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic.

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

Common questions in Bentlawnt

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you work in Bentlawnt?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bentlawnt. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bentlawnt. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bentlawnt, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Signs you need bath repair in Bentlawnt

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Rust spots around the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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.
