About our bath repair in Lea
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. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Your questions about bath repair in Lea
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Lea?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lea and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most clients in Lea get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lea. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Lea and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
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.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When to call us in Lea
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Lea contact us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
