Bath repair in Lydbrook without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
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.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in Lydbrook
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How much does bath repair cost in Lydbrook?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Signs you need bath repair in Lydbrook

- Chips under the taps

- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
