What we’re called out for in St Lawrence Bay
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

About our bath repair in St Lawrence Bay
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most often call us about deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
St Lawrence Bay: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How much does bath repair cost in St Lawrence Bay?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CM0 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, typically the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
