Bath repair in Pipe and Lyde without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Pipe and Lyde, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pipe and Lyde
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pipe and Lyde as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Signs you need bath repair in Pipe and Lyde
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
