About our bath repair in Lyminge
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairing versus replacing in Lyminge
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
