Bath repair in Lane End, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need bath repair in Lane End?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lane End. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Lane End
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are there extra charges for Lane End?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lane End
For anyone letting property in or around Lane End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repairing versus replacing in Lane End
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
