Bath repair at your home in Ladybarn
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Ladybarn
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.
How much does bath repair cost in Ladybarn?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What we are called out for in Ladybarn
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Ladybarn
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Ladybarn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace in Ladybarn?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
