Questions from Lydiard Green
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Lydiard Green?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lydiard Green. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What we are called out for in Lydiard Green
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Common reasons people in Lydiard Green contact us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
