Bath repair in Ludford without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Ludford
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Ludford, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
FAQs for Ludford
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Ludford and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How much does bath repair cost in Ludford?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN8 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
