About our bath repair in Leaton
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Leaton
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include

- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Leaton
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Your questions about bath repair in Leaton
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you work in Leaton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Leaton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
