Bath repair for Lydiate Ash homes

About our bath repair in Lydiate Ash

You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. If you are dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Lydiate Ash

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Lydiate Ash: your questions answered

Do you come to Lydiate Ash?

We do. We send a technician to Lydiate Ash for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a bath repair durable?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Do you cover the whole of Worcestershire?

The entire UK, including all of Worcestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What affects the price in Lydiate Ash

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B61 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
