Bath repair at your home in Lewson Street

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Lewson Street

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Damage beneath the taps

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Lewson Street: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
