How we handle bath repair in Lubenham
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the following day. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lubenham
For anyone letting property in or around Lubenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lubenham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Lubenham
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lubenham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE16 postcode.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Signs you need bath repair in Lubenham
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
