About our bath repair in Leckhampstead
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a hole punched through by something heavy and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
When to call us in Leckhampstead
Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
Your questions about bath repair in Leckhampstead
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Leckhampstead included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
