Bath repair at your home in Lumbutts
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath repair in Lumbutts
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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.
Do you work in Lumbutts?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lumbutts from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we are called out for in Lumbutts
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace in Lumbutts?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OL14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
