Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lea
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Lea, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Do not 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.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lea. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Lea, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Your questions about bath repair in Lea
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Lea?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need bath repair in Lea?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
