About our bath repair in Lilley

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We are often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Lilley

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do you cover the entire of Luton?

The whole UK, including all of Luton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Luton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
