Bath repair at your home in Ledbury
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with damage beneath the taps and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ledbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Ledbury
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.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
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.

Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
