Bath repair in Lugwardine

Repairing versus replacing in Lugwardine

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Bath repair in Lugwardine without replacing anything

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Lugwardine questions

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Lugwardine?

We do. We send a technician to Lugwardine for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When to call us in Lugwardine

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lugwardine. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
