How we handle bath repair in Lighthorne Heath
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we’re called out for in Lighthorne Heath
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Lighthorne Heath questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
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 do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What else we do in Lighthorne Heath
Repairing versus replacing in Lighthorne Heath
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
