- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
How we handle bath repair in Top of Lane
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Top of Lane as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Top of Lane
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Top of Lane. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Top of Lane
When to call us in Top of Lane
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Top of Lane, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Questions from Top of Lane
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
