Bath repair in Church Laneham, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a chip where the taps sit.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Church Laneham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Church Laneham
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
