How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

About our bath repair in Lodge Lees
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Lodge Lees questions
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Lodge Lees
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
