Bath repair at your home in Lady
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lady as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from Lady
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Signs you need bath repair in Lady
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
