Repairing versus replacing in Lordswood
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lordswood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lordswood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Lordswood
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lordswood?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Common problems we fix in Lordswood
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
