How we handle bath repair in Lidsing
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lidsing and across Medway.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Lidsing
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lidsing. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures

- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Lidsing
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Medway, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
