How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair in Lamb Corner without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath repair in Lamb Corner
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Signs you need bath repair in Lamb Corner
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lamb Corner
If you manage property in Lamb Corner, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lamb Corner use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
