Bath repair in Lobley Hill, 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. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lobley Hill
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lobley Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
When to call us in Lobley Hill
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t 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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath repair in Lobley Hill
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Lobley Hill?
We do. We send a technician to Lobley Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
