- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Lenton
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Lenton: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Lenton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Lenton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
