Bath enamel chip by the waste, filled and colour matched (before and after)

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Lyndon

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chip where the taps sit

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Store metal items away from the bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

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 it pays to deal with it early.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Lyndon

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Rutland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will the repair last?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
