Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lunsford. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lunsford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Lunsford

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How much does bath repair cost in Lunsford?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ME20 postcode.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
