Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lifford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Lifford clients choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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’s the part we put right.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Lifford
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
