About our bath repair in Leese Hill
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Leese Hill
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Leese Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
