Bath repair at your home in Lìonal
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need bath repair in Lìonal?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Lìonal questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What affects the price in Lìonal
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Lìonal?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
