Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Ladbroke clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ladbroke questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for 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. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

When to call us in Ladbroke

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
