Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Lasswade
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How much does bath repair cost in Lasswade?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What else we do in Lasswade
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
