About our bath repair in Ludney
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. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ludney and across Lincolnshire.

What we’re called out for in Ludney
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What affects the price in Ludney
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Ludney and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Ludney questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
How much does bath repair cost in Ludney?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Repair or replace in Ludney?
