How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and a cracked acrylic bath, we can help.

Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lydlinch. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lydlinch, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Lydlinch questions
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lydlinch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
