About our bath repair in Calton Lees
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Calton Lees as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Calton Lees. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Calton Lees questions
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Calton Lees is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
On the day, 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 few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Calton Lees, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Do you need bath repair in Calton Lees?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Calton Lees
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
