Bath repair in Leftwich, done in place

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Leftwich

Baths take more knocks than people expect: 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Your questions about bath repair in Leftwich

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
