About our bath repair in Lobthorpe
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s cracks in an acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath repair in Lobthorpe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Lobthorpe, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about bath repair in Lobthorpe
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Lobthorpe is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lobthorpe.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
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.
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.
