Bath Repair for Lydney homes
Fixed-price bath repair in Lydney and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath repair in Lydney
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lydney. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Lydney and want a price, 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. 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.

What we’re called out for in Lydney
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Lydney
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Lydney. Prices don’t change with location.
