DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair at your home in The Lymes
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and holes from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we are called out for in The Lymes
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
Landlord and trade work in The Lymes
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.
For anyone letting property in or around The Lymes, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are

Questions from The Lymes
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
