Bath repair in Lundwood, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Lundwood questions
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Lundwood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lundwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Lundwood and the rest of Barnsley. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When to call us in Lundwood
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

- Who will actually do the work
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For a price in Lundwood, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
What else we do in Lundwood
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
