Bath repair in Lovedean without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Lovedean
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lovedean. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Lovedean
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lovedean. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
