How we handle bath repair in Leckhampton
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips caused by builders, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Leckhampton: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Leckhampton.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leckhampton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Do you need bath repair in Leckhampton?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
