How we handle bath repair in Lyne of Skene
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Lyne of Skene?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Lyne of Skene
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
