Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
FAQs for Lydiate
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lydiate. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydiate
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydiate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
