DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair in Lydiard Tregoze, done in place
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. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage beneath the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lydiard Tregoze and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Lydiard Tregoze: your questions answered
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
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 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.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Lydiard Tregoze
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lydiard Tregoze. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Lydiard Tregoze, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
