Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rutland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Lyddington
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Rutland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Signs you need bath repair in Lyddington
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lyddington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
