About our bath repair in Laxton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Laxton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Laxton. Prices don’t change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Do you need bath repair in Laxton?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Laxton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Laxton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
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 morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
