What else we do in Ladwell
Ladwell: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ladwell. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Ladwell
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ladwell
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
