Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Four Lanes
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and chips under the taps, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Four Lanes. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Four Lanes
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
When to call us in Four Lanes
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Four Lanes
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
