Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Bath repair at your home in Ladysbridge
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Ladysbridge: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does bath repair cost in Ladysbridge?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AB45 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Ladysbridge
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
