- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area

- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
FAQs for Lownie Moor
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
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.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lownie Moor?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Lownie Moor?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you need bath repair in Lownie Moor?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
