What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our bath repair in Lyme Regis
You do not 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 so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Do you need bath repair in Lyme Regis?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
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 the part we put right.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lyme Regis. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Lyme Regis, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
