Common problems we fix in Larches
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site

Bath repair in Larches, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Larches
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Larches questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
