Bath chip & crack repair in Lydham, Shropshire
Problem with your bath in Lydham? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Bath repair in Lydham without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lydham as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Lydham
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lydham. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lydham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Lydham: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work in Lydham?
We do. We send a technician to Lydham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
