Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lydmarsh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Lydmarsh clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

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

What affects the price in Lydmarsh

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Lydmarsh

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlord and trade work in Lydmarsh

For anyone letting property in or around Lydmarsh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydmarsh as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
