Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Bath repair at your home in Lane
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lane as everywhere else we work.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lane
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 what we repair.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lane. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking

What else we do in Lane
Questions from Lane
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lane?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR8 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, 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.
Do you come to Lane?
We do. Technicians travel to Lane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Lane?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
