Bath repair in Lythbank without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and damage beneath the taps, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Lythbank?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need bath repair in Lythbank

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders

What your bath is made of matters
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.
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’s the part we put right.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. 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.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Lythbank
How do I get a price for bath repair in Lythbank?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Lythbank and the rest of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
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.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
