How we handle bath repair in Upper Lyde
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Lyde
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Lyde as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Lyde. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Upper Lyde and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Upper Lyde
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
