Bath repair in Leebotwood without replacing anything
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 repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Leebotwood
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How much does bath repair cost in Leebotwood?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Leebotwood. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Leebotwood?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Leebotwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Leebotwood
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
