Bath repair in Lidgate without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lidgate and across Cambridgeshire.

What we are called out for in Lidgate
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about bath repair in Lidgate
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do you come to Lidgate?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lidgate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What affects the price in Lidgate
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
