How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Bath repair in Lilliesleaf, done in place

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Lilliesleaf

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron enamel

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lilliesleaf. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Lilliesleaf, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Lilliesleaf: your questions answered

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Lilliesleaf included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
