Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lees. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath repair in Lees
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Lees
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
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 early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
