How we handle bath repair in Lawthorn
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lawthorn. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Advice
Questions from Lawthorn
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Signs you need bath repair in Lawthorn
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
