Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
About our bath repair in Leaden Knowl
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. We are frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Leaden Knowl
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
How much does bath repair cost in Leaden Knowl?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When to call us in Leaden Knowl
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Leaden Knowl contact us are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlord and trade work in Leaden Knowl
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leaden Knowl use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Leaden Knowl
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?

- No extra charge for your area
