How bath repair works in LU4
We see 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 regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
What it costs in LU4
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in LU4
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
LU4: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you come to LU4?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to LU4 and the rest of Luton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
