Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Lowgill

  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

When to call us in Lowgill

Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Lowgill questions

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repairing versus replacing in Lowgill

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
