About our bath repair in Lydgate
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydgate
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Lydgate?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Common questions in Lydgate
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Common problems we fix in Lydgate
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
