Bath repair in Lee without replacing anything

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lee. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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 frequently lifts.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel

Common questions in Lee

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Lee?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lee for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Lee included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
