About our bath repair in Lockington
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath repair in Lockington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
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.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Questions from Lockington
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you come to Lockington?
We do. We send a technician to Lockington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
