When a repair is not the answer

- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Bath repair in Lifton, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lifton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lifton. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Lifton questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Lifton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lifton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Lifton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Our work in Lifton

We also cover the places around Lifton: Tinhay (1 mile east), Lawhitton (3 miles south-west), Stourscombe (3 miles south-west), Withnoe (3 miles west) and St Giles on the Heath (3 miles north-west).

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Do you need bath repair in Lifton?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

What else we do in Lifton
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
