About our bath repair in Byard's Leap

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Byard's Leap customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Byard's Leap

  • Pressed steel enamel

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

What we are called out for in Byard's Leap

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Your questions about bath repair in Byard's Leap

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NG34 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
