How we handle bath repair in Lychpit
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lychpit. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

When to call us in Lychpit
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Lychpit: your questions answered
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
