Repairing versus replacing in Lunt
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Lunt
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Lunt and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Lunt
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lunt use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
