DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath repair in Lugar

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are 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.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Rinse it down after each bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lugar

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Lugar, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lugar, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lugar. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When to call us in Lugar

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

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.
