Do you need bath repair in Lane Head?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

FAQs for Lane Head
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
