Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in Lamas
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Lamas questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repair or replace in Lamas?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Lamas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
