About our bath repair in Lakenham
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’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Lakenham
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Lakenham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Lakenham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lakenham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Signs you need bath repair in Lakenham
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
