How we handle bath repair in Leavening
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Leavening: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we’re called out for in Leavening
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leavening
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leavening use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
