About our bath repair in Lydbury North
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Lydbury North questions
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.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Shropshire.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
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 early repairs matter.
