Bath repair in Lesbury without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Lesbury: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you come to Lesbury?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lesbury. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lesbury. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Lesbury
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
