Lapford: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What we’re called out for in Lapford
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lapford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Lapford?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lapford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For a price in Lapford, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What else we do in Lapford
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
