Lathbury questions
How much does bath repair cost in Lathbury?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What else we do in Lathbury
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 baths are thick and very strong, 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.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Do you need bath repair in Lathbury?
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for these signs:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lathbury
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
