Lhanbryde questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lhanbryde?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lhanbryde. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lhanbryde. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Lhanbryde
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
