Bath chip & crack repair in Lewsey, Luton
Bath repair across Lewsey and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
About our bath repair in Lewsey
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and deep scratches in acrylic, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Lewsey, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Do you need bath repair in Lewsey?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, 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 generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
Repair or replace in Lewsey?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Lewsey
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Luton.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
