What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Bath repair in Ledston without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about bath repair in Ledston
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you come to Ledston?
We do. We send a technician to Ledston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
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 does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When to call us in Ledston
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Ledston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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 a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
