Bath repair in Lyne Down

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

About our bath repair in Lyne Down

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and damage beneath the taps.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lyne Down

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyne Down use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

Your questions about bath repair in Lyne Down

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How much does bath repair cost in Lyne Down?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
