How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lympsham. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Lympsham
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lympsham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BS24 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Lympsham
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lympsham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lympsham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
