About our bath repair in Lapworth

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and chips caused by builders, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath repair in Lapworth

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Lapworth questions

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work in Lapworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lapworth. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

How much does bath repair cost in Lapworth?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your B94 postcode.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
